  Jan Moens of Dilbeek, Belgium writes: "The famous Aitna
  tetradrachme is part of the de Hirsch collection that was
  acquired by the Belgian Coin Cabinet in the 19th century.

  Kerry Wetterstrom, Editor/Publisher of The Celator, writes:
  "The Aitna tetradrachm is "the" coin in the ancient coin
  collecting world. As for the claim that it's the world's most
  valuable coin, we will probably never know unless the Brussels
  cabinet decides to purge their collection, or some of the other
  rumored specimens finally come to light!"

  Daniel Kurt Ackermann of Heritage Rare Coin Galleries writes:
